Though he’s about to receive a lifetime achievement award, Evanston author Scott Turow says he still has a lot of achieving left to do.
“In general terms, I am as productive as I’ve always been. I write every day for quite a bit of the day,” said Turow, 74. “I’m trying to finish a draft of a novel, and a five-hour writing day in my experience, that’s a pretty full day of work. And when I’m grinding, which is what I’m doing now, it’s what I hope to achieve.”
